I know what you mean; making a big decision is always accompanied by some nagging doubts. I do think that putting up a Monty 6 on your own will be a bit of a challenge. I can manage our Vango Orchy 600 and Vango Quest 600 on my own but these are both lighter in weight than the Monty as their poles are not steel.

Would it be worth checking with the seller about what their money-back policy is, in case you find you can't manage it solo?

Or is there a possibility you might end up like a lot of us on here and have a collection of tents including larger and smaller ones that fit different purposes?

There is a utube of this technique. Mark (?) from Yeomans- he does it in 8 mins (though poles already assembled etc). Think this is it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwPkZ872vbw

He makes it look easy but those steel poles are rather heavy! Lovely tent though. I have had my eye on it for ages.

I struggled to pitch my Khyam Excelsior XL, which is the older version of the Petworth, even when it was not particularly windy. 

However, I am only 5'2.
